For those of you anxiously awaiting the news regarding what I had for lunch yesterday, I am here to put those questions to rest. I had a salad. It was like a chef salad, actually, with stuff like chick peas and carrots and little bit of ham on top. Very tasty. I may have the same thing again today. Yeah, I'm all about variety here. Ha!

Speaking of lunch, the word takes me back... way back... to the time I was working on Sister Hazel's big album, "Somewhere More Familiar." You know, the one with that song "All For You" on it. Ah, good times, good times. Anyway, while out with them on a press day... or maybe it was when I was out in LA with them for a week, we decided that we wanted to see if we could make an everyday sort of word into a catch-phrase word that everybody was saying. So we (I forget whose idea it was all these years later -- I want to say the guitarist Ryan picked the word, but I could be wrong) came up with the idea to use the word "lunch" to mean something really cool, awesome, or good in general. So saying, "You are so lunch" was a big compliment. We used it heavily for a while, but it never did catch on beyond our small group. I wonder if they'd even remember if I threw that out there in conversation these days, since I am working with them again. Might have to try next time I see them...

Somewhere in my collection, I have a photo of some of the guys in Sister Hazel with Alex and Eddie Van Halen. They were... gosh, I don't even remember where we were that they were too. We were doing some TV thing, I think, although I don't remember what. I do remember a talent producer walking us over to their trailer and introducing the Sister Hazel guys to them. I have photos of all of them together (somewhere... although I haven't seen them lately, come to think of it). And there was a mirror behind them, so you can see me in the photo, too, with the camera up to my eye. So I indirectly have a photo of myself with the Van Halen boys.

And this little walk down memory lane is brought to you compliments of the word "lunch." Because you, you wonderful reader you, are indeed SO lunch!
